A MOBILE APPLICATION TO ENABLE USERS TO VIEW BUS SCHEDULES AND EXTEND BUS BOOKING AND RESERVATION SERVICES

ABSTRACT

The research focused on creating a mobile and web-based application to enable People

access reservation services for Gagga bus company. This shall help people avoid time wasting as

they could plan their journey well with no risk of missing a seat in a particular bus.

Constant missing of buses travelling to distant places across East Africa due to poor timing of the

passengers was the major problem that led the researcher to conduct this project. The

researcher created the Traveller mobile application that would help in solving the

problem of providing transport services.

In this project, the researcher used Waterfall Methodology, In this methodology, the

researcher used techniques such as Dataflow diagrams ,UML Techniques and prototyping, to

come up with the system requirements.

The requirements analysis, testing and modeling techniques such as Use cases, ER

Diagrams and sequence diagrams were used by researchers to model the functionality of the

system. On the testing of the system, researcher used unit testing, system integration testing and

usability testing.

Researcher used Android as the platform to develop the Mobile application and also

researcher used Web application developments tools and languages such as PHP, My SQL,

and Query to develop the web application.
